unvanquishable = vanquishable (transparent) = un + vanquish + able
Formed by productive prefix 'un-' attaching to 'vanquishable' (vanquish + -able), producing a straightforward negative meaning.
Etymology
Unvanquishable breaks into un- ('not'), vanquish (from an old word for 'to conquer', the same root as victory) and -able ('can be'), so unvanquishable literally means 'not able to be conquered' and is used for someone or something impossible to defeat.
